    With the current issues the game is having, this would be somewhere at the very end of the priority line.

    Besides Neverwinter is still a good looking MMORPG the only things that look bad are very old buildings in PE like the Bank and some old companion and gear model (i still think the cat looks strange)

    Not gonna happen. The game/graphics engine is 15 years old and hasn't been rewritten yet - so highly unlikely.
    It's their "core" generic MMO engine across all their games.

    i find neverwinter to have the best looking graphics in EVERY MMO. sure it is a matter of taste, but a rework in PE to counter FPS loss (like they did in lions arch) was more required.

    Wow. I can think of several that are a whole order of magnitude better looking.
    Somehow I also seriously doubt you've tried "EVERY" MMO.
    ...or, perhaps you are legally blind?​​

    There are certainly oddities with the graphics engine, and I can't tell if they're due to the engine or my graphics card, (I have one with an Nvidia GTX 460, which is a few generations old at this point). Specifically, when I stop and take a close look at NPCs or other player characters, I'll notice that some parts of them are nice and sharp/clear, while other parts are pixelated & blurry. Sometimes, if I stay there looking at them long enough, those fuzzy areas will "snap" into focus, but not always.

    ...and, of course, there are those models where the neck doesn't quite connect properly to the chin area.
    ...and all the clipping through bodies of weapons and armor.
    ...and hair.
    ...and poor cloth animations.

    I don't mind the graphics that much. They feel dated, but its not Ultima Online by any means. I'd be happier if they optimize it so it's not so CPU intensive and unloads more onto a graphics card. Or at least optimize if for multicore. I hardly see my other cores being used while in Tiamat. <10 FPS on a 8 core CPU and a 280X GPU seems kind of <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font>.

    I played some MMORPGs and Neverwinter is not the best looking but in my personal opinion it is upper middle class or more likely under upper class graphic for an MMORPG.

    With all the many many problems that Neverwinter is experiencing, from just being a overall poor experience to game breaking lag, long waits for queues in PvP (Last night we literally waited 8 minutes to do GG, 8 minutes during peak gaming hours....) broken classes (Yes, I'm looking at you Scourge Warlock). A plethora of issues with the Foundry. I think graphics are so far down on the list that they aren't even worth thinking about.

    If it did happen a lot of people with older machines suddenly wouldn't be able to run it anymore.

    I'd play an 8bit game with a good story and compelling gameplay.

    GW2 looks a hundred times better than NW, they're not on the same level graphically.
    NW doesn't look bad though, but some of the older assets are pretty ugly.
